Our collaborative work on a primate-specific gene being essential for pancreas development in humans is out! nature.com/articles/s4158…

#ZNF808 is a new AR #MorbidGene for pancreatic agenesis & subsequent neonatal #diabetes. @DrElisaDeFranco Nick Owens Michael Imbeault et. al. in Nature Genetics 👏 👇 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Watch: @DrElisaDeFranco on the ExeterDiabetes team's discovery - a gene that is crucial for the human pancreas, yet does not exist in nearly all other animals. It challenges assumptions about how the regulation of development evolves. Full vid here: news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-hea…

Really glad to be part of this great team!! Looking forward to all our future endeavors! 🎉🍾 Follow this beautiful thread to learn more about our work on the primate specific gene ZNF808 and its role in human pancreatic development!

Very happy to see our long-term project on the functional characterization of an RFX6 mutation enriched in Finns published in Diabetologia. Superb work by Hazem Ibrahim. Read here: rdcu.be/dHX38

News from our CoE by OtonkoskiLab Hazem Ibrahim highlights the role of RFX6 in maintaining pancreatic progenitors and uncovers how RFX6 heterozygous loss-of-function affects beta-cell function, increasing the risk for diabetes Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland University of Helsinki link.springer.com/article/10.100…
